Layne Thomas Staley Quotes
We Die Young is about gang violence. That was something that was happening in Seattle, something that kinda opened our eyes. It just seemed like things were getting out of hand.

It just seems like these kids are dying at younger and younger ages and getting involved in gang activity.
